A bit of PH cloud funding for Bianca perhaps?

[photosnob]

Told ya.

Anyone can copy calored tights. She has nothing apart from a horrible personality.

[DUMBO100]

AS has just given £250 k to Google and even the idea is 5 yrs out of date, it's Social media nowadays

[Vocal Minority]

That said - the more I think about it, the costs to start up Bianca's idea would be ferocious...could it be that Suralans 250k wouldn't make a dent in what she would need, and she would need to find way more - and maybe that is too much risk

£250k on Adwords? I've been quoted £40k+ fir my company Seo and if it gets me no extra orders I have no recourse plus if I spent £20k on Adwords would it do the sane ?

They don't know who wins until tonight (yesterday) when filmed. So the new business will not launch until later, I would assume so nothing is online yet.

SEO approach is no better than telesales or PPI companies

All about harassing people down the phone until the gullible amongst them give in.

Only a complete idiot would settle on a company name before checking if the domain name is available online. Climbonline.co.uk, .com and .net are taken.
The show is a joke.

I do find it bizarre how these candidates who are so passionate about their business and have put their lives into them don't even have a name? And the branding as well? This was just like any other task they have done. Has Lord Sugar really just splurged £250k (not much to him, I know) on someone whose name, branding, advertising, pricing strategy etc was all done in just two or three days?

[veevee]

Confused that noone has pointed out that none of the candidates seem to have anything more than a back-of-a-napkin business plan, and when pressed for any kind of detail just make up any old st?

[Funk]

What's also conspicuous by its absence is any form of follow-up on previous years' 'winners'. I notice they trotted out Tom, Ricky and Leah on You're Hired but no word at all on whether the investment experiments have actually worked. We've seen more reporting on acrimonious splits between Sugar and his 'hires' and very little on following up on the claims that he wants to 'start businesses' in these 'tough times'.

I'm inclined to think that many of these ideas just haven't really worked very well or been successful enough to shout about.

[p1doc]

lord sugar did say last 3 winners were now in profit with ricky employing 23 people at present so all doing well

Here's some treeness, Aventom with Tom Pellerau at the top, I think he's doing alright for himself.

Aventom - http://www.aventom.com/

Dr Leah (Leah Totton) - http://companycheck.co.uk/company/08610855

Ricky Martin - Hyperec is still (it seems) part of Amshold Ltd

[Funk]

I didn't watch all of You're Hired (Mark annoys the tits off me) so maybe it was on a bit I didn't see.

Fair play if they're doing well, Tom especially as he's not your 'typical' winner for something like this and I really wanted him to succeed.

Marks SEO will be interesting with monthly visits, ie month 3 - (client) were selling less Mark (Mark) oh we will do more stuff you cannot see for your £600 a month. Those visits will soon be dreaded by the account managers hence high staff churn and high client churn unless he locks them in in which case the Mail will run "ripped off by Sugars blue eyed boy".

SEO must be hard at the best of time and I think Mark is a butterfly never staying very long in anything hence the crap is behind him.
